• Pages you visit and time spent on each page.
• Referring website or search query that brought you to our site.

We use this information to improve performance, understand visitor behavior, and enhance user experience. We do not use invasive tracking or non-essential third-party cookies.

Information from Third Parties

We may receive limited information about you from trusted partners such as payment processors, business directories, or social media platforms when you interact with our pages or ads. This data is used only to fulfill your requests or verify account activity.

Who Has Access to Your Information

Access to your personal data is restricted to authorized employees and contractors who need it to perform their job duties. Third-party partners who assist us (such as hosting providers, payment processors, or analytics services) must adhere to strong confidentiality and data protection standards.

Retention

We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

Part III – Information We Process on Behalf of Clients

As a digital marketing and hosting provider, Fawkes Digital Marketing may process data that our clients control, such as contact forms, email lists, analytics, or website submissions. This information is processed solely on behalf of and according to the instructions of our clients.

We do not own or use this client data for our own purposes. Clients retain full ownership of their service data and can request export or deletion at any time.

If you believe your data has been processed by Fawkes Digital Marketing on behalf of a client, please contact that organization directly. We will cooperate fully to ensure your rights are respected.

We implement strict administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information. This includes AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.3 for data transmission, role-based access controls, regular security testing, and GDPR-compliant data handling.

While we work hard to protect your data, no system is completely secure. If we become aware of a data breach affecting your information, we will notify you and relevant authorities as required by law.

Part VI – International Transfers

Fawkes Digital Marketing is based in the United States.
